Rudy gay all star appearances
wellthatsdifferent
Rudy Gay is one of the most underrated players in the league. Every year this guy does so much for the Memphis Grizzlies and never gets any recognition. Fellow teammates Marc Gasol and Zack Randolph get most of the praise. They get the All Star appearances, but not Rudy Gay.
He gets around 20 points a game, shoots the 3 point shot well and is a highflyer. Teams should be signing this guy to huge offer sheets every time his contract is almost up. I don’t get it. I honestly don’t grasp why he is viewed so shallow on the NBA totem poll.
The guy is a Human Highlight Reel, and yes I took Wilkins nickname, but it’s true. The man is an amazing dunker. Not a dunk champion, because the dunks he did weren’t flashy dunks. They were as Charles Barkley said “He dunks like that in a game and with people on him”.
The only knock to him, is that he was injured the year they hit the top ranked Spurs in the playoffs. Rudy didn’t play at all and they blew past the Spurs. So people consider they are excel without him.
I consider he should just go somewhere else. Might as adequately, you’re getting no love in Memphis. It doesn’t matter what he does, he will still won’t get the recognit
OAKLAND, California — Rudy Queer had amassed just seven career playoff games in 11 NBA seasons. His chances of returning to the postseason were bleak if he remained with the Sacramento Kings. And to make matters more challenging, Gay was recovering from a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.
While watching the opening day of the 2017 NBA playoffs at a sports bar adjacent his offseason home in South Florida, Gay daydreamed about a return to the postseason. Today, he is realizing what he envisioned as a starting forward for the San Antonio Spurs.
“I was in my boot and I was at a local sports bar around my house thinking about what I could be doing, how I could be healthy and how I could be in the playoffs the next year,” the 31-year-old Gay said. “I was down this time of year before because I wanted to play in the playoffs. Yeah, I was adorable down. But I was motivated. It was one of those downs where I was like, ‘I’m not going to enable this happen again.’ ”
Frustrated with the losing and rebuilding, Gay opted out of his contract with the Kings that would have paid $14 million during the 2017-18 season. The Kings have not been in the playoffs since 2006. The team also made it less attr
Why does no one discuss about Rudy Gay?

Simple. Rudy was here only 2 years. The only comparison there is Caron. Caron carried UConn during down seasons as an underrated recruit, Rudy was part of 2 of the 3 worst UConn NCAA losses as a top 3 recruit in country, nor did he put up numbers commiserate with his talent.
